Yongehurst Distillery

As two long-time friends with a passion for spirits, history and hand-crafting everything, we set out to explore our families’ proud traditions, while looking to develop a few traditions of our own.
As the culture of whisky and cocktails continues to grow in Ontario, the selection of interesting and available spirits isn’t keeping up with the demand. As big supporters of independent craftspeople, from brewers to bartenders to baristas, we saw an opportunity to fill a void and share some of our knowledge and skill.
Makers by nature and by nurture, our desire to experiment and balance flavour and science will bring a series of unique spirits to the people and place we call home.
After years of planning and experimenting, Yongehurst Distillery Company is finally here in Toronto and we hope you’re as excited as we are.
